Unusual Demand for Pir-Tron.

Unusual Demand for Pig-IrOn.
[Ccpyrig, 1887. by ne California associated Press
PITTsBURG, June 14th.-The demand for
iron and steel is great, considering the i'm
mense quantity that has been turned out
in this country the last year. Generally at
this time there is falling off. Men don't
care TO work much for three months to
come, and the manufacturers use the time
for making repairs. This year seems to be
an exception. Orders are still coming in
at the rate of 600 tons per day from all
parts of the United States, Canada, South
America and many other foreign countries.
Still the metal is to be got, but the product
is getting scarce. There is not one ton nm
sold of pig-iron within several hundred
miles of Pittsburg.

this morning in the United States Circuit
Court. Grosves or P. Lowery made the
opening argument for the United States,
which was brief but eloquent and forcible.

length, strongly maintaining the PROPOSE
tionS that the Government had the right
to vacate or rescind a patent obtained by
fraud; that the Government alone is the
proper party to bring the suit, and that this
Is the proper form of procedure. He went
carefully into an examination of authori-
